Description
The Viking Age was marked by a spirit of adventure that shaped the course of European history. For nearly three centuries, from around AD800 to the eleventh century, the Vikings left an indelible mark on the regions they reached with their ships. This comprehensive study brings together the latest research on various aspects of Viking culture, including art, burial customs, social class divisions, jewelry, kingship, poetry, and family life. The Vikings were not simply "wild, barbaric" raiders, but rather a complex society that oversaw the introduction of Christianity to Scandinavia and had a profound impact on European trade, travel, and politics. This encyclopedic work provides a rich and compelling picture of an extraordinary civilization, one that continues to fascinate and inform our understanding of history today. Through its extensive coverage of Viking culture, this book offers a nuanced and engaging exploration of a pivotal period in European history.
